--------------------------------------------------------------------
[~dmitrii_kuzin] would you mind adding the custom delimiter support to the
{{ReadAllFromText}} transform as well for completeness?
[~danoliveira] The {{WriteToText}} transform would also benefit from custom
delimiter support, Java SDK has this. This sounds like a separate ticket.

> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: io-py-common, io-py-files
> Reporter: Daniel Oliveira
> Assignee: Dmitrii Kuzin
> Priority: P2
> Labels: beginner, newbie, starter

> A common request by users is to be able to separate a text files read by
> TextIO with delimiters other than newline. The Java SDK already supports this
> feature.
> The current delimiter code is [located
> here|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/v2.31.0/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/textio.py#L236]
> and defaults to newlines. This function could easily be modified to also
> handle custom delimiters. Changing this would also necessitate changing the
> API for the various TextIO.Read methods and adding documentation.
> This seems like a good starter bug for making more in-depth contributions to
> Beam Python.
